Predictions: 9 of 11 Winners, 5 Perfect, 615 Points   |   Tied for 151st

Greg and Skelliher are off this week (fixing global warming and bringing peace to the Middle East, respectively).  

I agreed to monitor the festivities of UFC Fight Night 44.  

Featuring a likely title-eliminator fight in the main event, and some great talent on the undercard, enjoy this fine free event from your UFC overlords.

lol colton needs to be cut. Hes 1-3 in the ufc and 3-4 overall in his career. Just get rid of him and try to forget that season ever happened. But its also the UFCs fault for putting a ****y cast. If they cared more about talent on the show and put a bunch of blue chip prospects on, colton might not have even made it into the house.

Colton Smith may be the worst fighter to ever win TUF. UFC is only contractually obligated to give him 4 fights.

Dat krispy jitz. I like him! Seems humble, and clearly that 3rd degree black belt in warranted.

**** that dana makes the rules. He could cut him after 2 fights if he wanted. That also makes colton 0-2 against this guy. Cause he beat colton in a grappling contest i think.

@ACFMMA you are correct. He beat Colton in a grappling match as well as just now.

@benjaminbrandt 

Not going for hooks is supposed to be a gamble, but since for some reason fighters aren't expecting you to behave that way it has been working every time. I am loving the recent developments of MMA grappling in general.

Cezar Ferreira calls for Dollaway rematch. Says he beats C.B. 11/10 times. In his defense, doing math is difficult when you get KTFO.

Thats why dana wants to add metamoris on the fight pass content. Some grappling matches are more exciting than some mma fights. Watch ADCC and tell me guys like brucheta, cornellius, torres and mayio arent extremely entertaining.

When you dont have a job and the only way you pay bills, buy food and clothes for you and your family its not hard to see why bedford is bitter. Factor in training fees, supplements, eating clean (which is ******* expensive if you've ever seen the prices of food in those organic stores) and traveling fees. Your pretty much ****** if you dont get that extra money from the win bonus cause its not like bedford is making anderson silva money and can afford to lose fights like that.

Its easy for us as fans to laugh or say ahh so what. We dont make our living on fighting in the cage. How ****y must bedford feel when his kid asks to order a pizza and hes gotta say no cause that 8k or whatever he makes is basically gone the second he steps in the door.

Oh yeah cause he let himself get knocked down. Its a ******* fight, **** happens. Nobody goes in there to get kod or subbed on purpose. But when the majority of fans, dana and even the ******* ref said he made a mistake.....trust me you would be ******* pissed and acting out a little to. Or maybe you are rich and can afford not to win fights. Step in the cage and get knocked on your ass and tell me you let yourself get blasted on purpose.
